Calder was a likely a stray for most, if not all, of his life, roaming the streets downtown alone. Adjusting to indoor life for Calder is still an ongoing process and thus he can be a little jumpy when you enter a room quickly and will retreat to a hiding spot for a short period of time. Once he realizes that danger is no longer a part of his daily routine, he quickly struts back out, ready for pets again.
Calder loves to lounge in a perfect loaf any and everywhere. Although he is still learning about the mysteries of the cat toy, Calder loves to play with a green catnip fish. Like many orange cats, Calder is a little goofball who will have you laughing every day. His sweet demeanour pairs perfectly with a calm home that is ready to show him all of the love.
Calder can be a very sweet and loving boy, but can get over stimulated if pet too much, and will give clear signs that he has had enough and its time to stop. We recommend adults or older children only in his adoptive home, so that they can be attentive to his signals and respectful of his boundaries.
Calder will need a slow and proper introduction to any other cats in the home, but especially with other male cats. He is also very vocal when left on his own in a room, and his adopters should be prepared for him to chat their ear off. An apartment with close neighbours may not be the best environment for him.
Calder also is extremely food motivated and will need to be fed on a set schedule.
About Me:
Notes:
The adoption fee includes a health check, first vaccination in a series and any that become due while in care, first anti-parasite treatments needed in care, spay or neuter and microchip at our Veterinary partner. There is a 10% discount when you adopt 2 cats/kittens. The adopter will be responsible for any vaccine or boosters, anti-parasite treatments that are needed after adoption. Kittens usually need 3 vaccines, one month apart starting at age 7 weeks. Juveniles and Adult cats usually require 2 vaccines one month apart in the first year, then annual vaccines. Deworming is recommended at the time of each vaccine appointment. If you are intending to adopt, please be aware that your Veterinary clinic may be experiencing backlogs in scheduling appointments, so do not delay calling your clinic to book your new cat's needed booster appointment(s). Please note that cats are not tested for FIV/FeLV nor can FIP be predicted. We will share any medical information gathered during our health checks and observations revealed during their time in care. But it is important to know that some illnesses can have an incubation period of 10 days, which means that a cat can leave in good health but get sick a few days post adoption. In addition, the stress of a new environment can affect a cats’ immune system.
